Hezbollah Secretary-General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah has blamed Takfiri groups for a car bomb attack which left 24 people dead in southern Beirut.Addressing thousands of Hezbollah supporters on the occasion of the end of the group’s 33-day 2006 war with Israel in the southern village of Aita al-Shaab, Nasrallah said on Friday that according to investigations carried out by the resistance movement, Takfiri groups are behind the recent deadly attacks in Lebanon.

At least twenty people have been killed and 150 wounded in an explosion near the Hezbollah headquarters in Lebanese capital Beirut, according to security sources. Sunni radicals have claimed responsibility for the sectarian attack.

“This is the second time that we decide the place of the battle and its timing…And you will see more, God willing,” said a video statement from a group calling itself Brigades of Aisha, addressed to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Hezbollah represents a rival Shi’ite offshoot of Islam.

The blast — reportedly from a car bomb — rang out outside “Mafhouz Stores”, an upmarket shopping mall in a predominantly Shi’ite district late afternoon on Thursday. A handful of buildings and dozens of nearby cars were damaged, as local TV cameras captured hundreds of bystanders trying to escape the smoke and fire in panic.

Israeli forces have just ended a full-scale combat drill mobilizing troops to an area in the Northern Occupied Palestinian territories.

The drills included tanks, artillery units as well as Sky Rider Units made up of Artillery Corps soldiers who operate drones to back up ground offensives.

This drill comes as Israeli officials are watching with grave concern the improvement of Hezbollah’s military proficiency which was demonstrated in the resistance group’s battle against foreign-backed Takfiri militants in Syria.

According to Israeli officials the Lebanese Resistance Movement has learned to operate on large ground frameworks, and its fighters have become dexterous in the use of advanced weapons. The movement has also proved that it is capable of carrying out a systematic ground campaign displaying a military-like approach.

All this has led the chief of the Israeli regime’s artillery force to admit that “Hezbollah’s involvement in the war on Syria has not disrupted its preparedness for a war with Israel but has rather bolstered its defense capabilities.”

According to some recent Israeli reports, any future attack on Lebanon will see Hezbollah inflicting large-scale devastation on the Israeli regime and its infrastructure.

Israelis believe that Hezbollah is capable of firing 1200 rockets of different models on Occupied Palestinian territories every day if violence erupts. It’s also said that the resistance movement has the ability to target Israeli oil and gas facilities in case of a war.

Hezbollah Secretary General – Sayyed Hassan Nasr-Allah – had repeatedly said that the resistanec group is capable of going beyond enemy lines and seizing strategic areas within the Occupied Palestinian territories.

Though tensions seem to be simmering on both sides of the blue line, observers argue that the Israeli regime’s belief in a blitz that will render it victorious is out of the question at the moment. The Israeli regime sees Hezbollah’s might as a deterrent force holding it back.

After a series of bombings that hit Lebanon, many politicians consider hosting Syrian refugees as a threat to the country’s security.

Lebanese caretaker minister of Interior Marwan Charbel has said the number of Syrian refugees in Lebanon has reached one-point-two million. This as Marada Movement Leader MP Sleiman Franjieh has confirmed that 50,000 of these Syrians came in with arms.

Although many Syrians have fled the devastating living conditions in Syria seeking a safe haven, some are believed to have entered with an agenda to sabotage Lebanon.

While the Lebanese government claims to be monitoring areas where refugees are staying to prevent terrorist plots, experts find it necessary to control the Lebanese-Syrian border and build refugee camps to contain the deteriorating security situation.

Analysts however find the Lebanese government to be the weakest player on the regional political arena due to internal political divisions.

Fear of explosions and tension prevails among the Lebanese and Syrians living in Lebanon, as there is general agreement that the situation in Damascus directly impacts politics in neighboring Beirut.

Despite the worsening security situation due to the Syrian conflict spillover, the Lebanese government has to distinguish between Syrian refugees who are seeking a safe haven and those who are entering Lebanon on political missions.

The Lebanese Army finds tunnels in Sidon. The tunnels connect several buildings controlled by supporters of Takfiri cleric Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir. This comes as the Lebanese troops are also going ahead with their mop-up operation following fierce clashes with the armed followers of Sheikh Assir. The Army is reported to be in full control of the city and the troops have seized control of the radical cleric’s base.

The Lebanese troops have also seized rocket launchers, machineguns and military uniforms inside the base. They are still searching for the radical cleric, who’s a staunch supporter of Takfiri insurgents fighting the Syrian government. Some analysts say the battle has been a major blow to the takfiris, others have a different idea.

Lebanon’s Army has pledged to fight until it ‘finishes with’ the radical cleric. He is believed to have hundreds of armed supporters in Sidon involved in the fighting.

Experts say, although Salafist groups have put a lot of energy and money into fueling the Shia-Sunni strife in Lebanon, whether or not they manage to pursue their ambitious plan remains to be unseen.

Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham said President Barack Obama should establish a no-fly zone to opponents of Bashar al-Assad. “This isn’t just a bunch of demonstrators being beaten up. This a regional conflict. It spilled over … Jordan is destabilized, Lebanon is about to erupt into sectarian violence, Jihadist’s are falling in from all over the Middle East. This is erupting,” McCain said on CNN and CSPAN,

McCain has called for creating a no fly zone and arming Jihadist since his secret meetings with Rebel kidnappers weeks ago.John McCain Receives more campaign contributions from AIPAC(Israeli lobby), then any other US senator except Joe Leiberman,and most of McCains Foreign policy revolves around what’s best for Israel,often times more then Whats best for America.

Weeks ago McCain made a secret illegal visit to Syrian criminals,that was set up and funded by an Aipac affiliated lobby group from Boca Raton Florida.

John McCain’s Secret visit with Syrian Rebels just keeps getting more interesting.You Probably remember a few weeks ago When McCain,one of the fiercest critics of the Obama administration’s Syria policy, made the unannounced visit across the Turkey-Syria border with Gen. Salem Idris, the leader of the Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army. He stayed in the country for several hours before returning to Turkey.

Both in Syria and Turkey, McCain and Idris met with assembled leaders of Free Syrian Army units that traveled from around the country to see the U.S. senator. Inside those meetings, rebel leaders called on the United States to step up its support to the Syrian armed opposition and provide them with heavy weapons, a no-fly zone, and airstrikes on the Syrian Army and the forces of Hezbollah, which is increasingly active in Syria.Later It was reported that Two of the men photographed with good’ole Johnny were Kidnappers,who had snatched up 11 Lebanese pilgrims near Lebanon’s border with Syria.

Now a fresh new report is out that one of the other guys in the photo’s is Mouaz Moustafa, executive director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force,an American nonprofit that helped organize the McCain trip. Mouaz was Credited with stating in McCain’s Defense that “Nobody self-identified as Nour(kidnapper),and none of the guys who were standing outside were in the meeting with McCain”.Mouaz Moustafa also was a speaker at AIPAC’s Soref symposium on the theme of “Inside Syria: The Battle Against Assad’s Regime.” Even more interesting The Syrian Emergency Task Force URL “syriantaskforce.torahacademybr.org” is located on “torahacademybr.org” which belongs to Torah Academy of Boca Raton, Florida.

It should not surprise anyone who has followed John McCain’s political past to Know that his trip was Funded and set up by Israeli lobbyist.McCain is a top receiptent of AIPAC contributions funding,receiving $750,000 in 2008 alone.
